> To be honest, I think as a community we do pretty well. Right now we're going through a hard time, and it seems like it will be forever-- or is the last word. Maybe it is; maybe it isn't. But it doesn't negate all the good that's happened here and happens here-- unnoticed or unappreciated maybe.

Words are powerful and maybe we can bury ourselves with harsh words about the futility of what we're doing and what's in store. But I also think we can remake or rebuild what's been lost--if we want to.
